Clark Chemical Co,, Toronto, N. Y. - RISTQIiY OF GLOWS. Gloves are of very ancient origin. Xenophon gives an account of gloves, and in speaking of the effe- tuinaoy of the Persians be says that not satisfied with covering their head and feet they also guarded tlieir hands against cold with think gloves. Homer also speaks of gloves, and Varro, an ancient writer, speaks of their use in Re a0. Athentwus tollo of the celebrated glutton who came to the table with gloves an his hands that he might handle the meat while hot and devour more than the rest of the company. These authorities show that gloves were worn by the ancients, though their use was not common. In a liot climate to wear gloves implied a considerable degree of effeminacy. We can more clearly ti ace the early use of gloves iu Northern than in Southern nations. When the ancient sever i y of manners declined gloves were generally wore by the Romans. ',iussoniva, a philosopher who lived at the close of the first cen- tury A. D., among other invectives against the corruptions of the age, sale : "It is shameful that persons in perfect health should clothe their hands and feet with soft and hairy coverings." In the begin- ning of the ninth century the use of gloves had become su general that the church thought a regula Oen on that part of dress necessary, awl uruuks were ferbiddou to wear any gloves but sheepskin. Gloves, bosidee their original design for a covering for the hand, have been employed ou several great and solemn occasions, as in the cere- mony of investitures in bestowing Lauda or in conferring dignities, In 1009 the bishops of Paderborn and 1loucerco were put in posses- sion O1 their sees by receiving a glove. It was thought su essential a part of the episcopal ha'uit that, s01110 abbote 111 France presuming to wear gloved, the Couucil of Poitiers forbade them to do so, de Glaring the use of these articles to be peculiar to bishops, who some• times wore them richly adorned with jewels on the becks. Gloves were blessed at the coronation of the kings of France dowu to 1110 present century. Another use of the glove was in the duel, he who threw one down was by this act understood to give defiance, and he who took it up to accept the chal- lenge. Gough. in "Sepulchral Monuments," says that gloves form- ed no part of female dress till after the Reformation. The general manufacture of gloves in London was begun in 1556, by the forma- tion of the Glovers' Company. Embroidered gloves were brought into England in 1586, and soon after that the custom arose, which has been continued to the preeent day, of presenting these gloves to the judges at maiden assizes, that is, a sitting of the court wherein no criminal prosecutions are brought forward. DEA'l'iH COMES AT MiD- NIGHT. The Buenos Ayres Standard says: News of a terrible disaster was re- ceived last evening from Cordoba. Half the city is under water, and houses are being washed away by the score. In the west end of the city throe blocks have been reduced to ruins, and the number of victims is already stated to be 100. In the east and a similar state of things is recorded. Houses are falling owing to the foundations being weakened by the water. The most terrible panic prevails. The air is filled with the shrinks of terrified women and children, and people are seen running madly out of the city. At eleven o'clock Friday night the authorities observed that an inunda tion was telt; ng place.ILbeing suppos- ed that the dyke had given way, the police immediately began firing their rifles to awaken the POl)Ut - tion and af.prise theta of the approaching danger. People thought at, first that a revolution had broken out, but soon the waters began to spread and rise. The panic thou began, and, what made matters worse, the whole city was steeped in darkness owing to the gas factory having been inundated. Up to a late hour no further news was re- ceived, it being supposed that the telegraph offices must have been washed away. The damages caused aro estimated at over $3,000,000 and more than 150 persons lost their lives. MALE A NE\V NOSE. REMARKABLE SURGICAL OPERATION PERFORMED ON A ST. LOUIS WOMAN. A remark able surgical operation - was performed at St. Louis, Mo., last week at the Good Samaritan Hospital by Dr. Scott B. Parsons. A woman 30 years old was the patient. Not only had she no cartilage in her nose, but disease had attacked the frontal bone, and much of it had come ont in pieces through an opening between the eyebrows. There was a circular de- pression in the parietal hone just hack of the turn of the forehead two inches in diameter and another depression of irregular shape over liwrosrTS NORTHROP & LYMAN'S Vcetab1 DtuViy alez a...•a ereele,esweeweeelsweeingempeeppeem.

Idut the disfiguration incident to this was but a small portion of the poor woman's mis fortune. The p.elate went the way of the bone, and a groat hole opea- iug in the roof of her mouth, per miffing food to escape into the nostrils, of course it iutarfered seriously with her breathing, too. To modify the former difficulty her upper teeth were all drawn and a new set was fitto,l to a plate which covered the Mole iu the palate, but the depression in the nose still existed, and the patient could only breathe comfortably through the mouth. When asleep, she snored shrilly, the noise resembl- ing all attempt to shriek. DI'. Parsons had a young calf killed and its nose cut off'. From this he took the cartilage and built a new bridge for her nose. The patient was chloroformed. Firet an incision from the posterior part of one nostril to the top of the nose was made, and theo the same was done with the opposite side. This allowed about three-quarters of an inch of' the nose to fall down over her lip. Cotton was then inserted iu the nasal passages and the whistling snore ceased. At this period the calf was killed and its snout cut off and Dr. Parsons took the cartilago and carved it.. \Vhen the general shape of the septum had been secured Dr. Parsons took the frag- ment and trimmed it to the exact dinlensinus. Then he inserted it within the wound and adjusted it in pace. Then the incision was drawn together and stitched. Dr. Parsons stated that he did not ex- pect the natural and false surfaces to unite in the patient's nose, but ho does hope that the unsightly de- pression of the bridge has been permanently corrected, and that the unsightly depression of the bridge has been permanently corrected, and that the woman will be able to breathe through her nostrils without snoriug. The hole in the palate is there to stay and so are the de- pressions in the front of the head. AWFUL STORY FROM BRAZIL WHAT A RUSSIAN CORRESPONDENT SAW AND HEARD. DELUDED IMMIGRANTS SENT TO TILE FOREST TO DIE OF HUNGER AND SNAKE BITES, THEN TREATED LIKE SLAVES, M. Dygasinski,a correspondent of theWarsawCourier,has just returned front Brazil, where 110 made a tour of the provinces of San Paulo, Parana and Santa Catharine, Ile declares the Brazilian government threw every obstacle in the way of his eli- citing the truth concerning Lite emi- gration question. Ile says the Bra- zilian government decided some- time ago to import 10,000,000 eiui• grants, and that tho North Gorman Lloyd steamship company has al- ready landed 140,000 emigrants, re- ceiving 300 (narks each for them. The emigrants wore not allowed to found colonies, but were scattered in the forests in the interior and left to their fate to die of hunger, fever or snake bites, or to he devoured by wild beasts. Unable to communi- cate with their friends, a few who survived retraced their ):taps to Rio Janeiro, begging substance of plan- ters, who treated them like slaves and exacted from them exorbitant services in return for scanty meals. At Rio Grande the correspondent found 700 emigrants in a dying state, huddled in a wooden chapel, while thousands were camping in the streets of the cities through which he passed, or in the primeval forests. Dygasinski has testified on oath to the truth of his statements before the Bremen judges inquiring into the scandal. Still the emigration of- fices are doing a roaring buisness, embarking emigrants even at night. The editor of the Warsaw Courier has opened a reparation found. whence the name ofThomson pond,a sheet of water in Wetern Maine ex- touding thro ugh four towui, and lying partly in three counties, originated. Tradition says it was named after the first settler, Joe 'I'hotneou. During his sojourn he was eeriously troubled by rat;. Ile first provided himself with a stout leather bag of the capa- city of four bushels. Ile then placed an empty hogshead in hid log hovel, leaving the bunghole open, through which he dropped a quantity of meat scraps and crumbs. Bag in hand he retired outside to watch the proceediugs, pecking through a small crevice between the logs. Presently he SAW an old, grey veteran approaching the bunghole. He takes a peep, then snuffs, looks cautiously about, and then enters. Ile soon emerges from the hogshead and quickly disappears. In a trice he returns, followed by a drove amounting to hundreds, which one by one disappeared through the bunghole. "Now," chuckledJoe, "is my fun," as he skipped calmly through the door and adjusted the open mouth of the bag to the stnatl aperture, at the same time rapping the hogshead with the toe of his boot, which pro duced a loud ringing sound. With loud squeals and struggles the fright- ened rats began to scramble through the bunghole, all landing in the bag. I-Iis first thought was to drown thetn by sinking the bag in the pond but being -in a rather gamesome mood, as was often the case, he con- cluded to put his bag in his boat, and after rowing to a good distance from the shore then release them, and with his ox goad have a good time knocking them in the head. Rowing out several rods from the shore, and being in high glee at the thought of wrecking vengeance ou the varmints which hacl given so much trouble, he without hesitation untied the hag, expecting to sea the frightened creatures leap into the water, but ho quickly found him- self mistaken. Instead of fleeing or oven retreat ing the tats charged in a body, with teeth and claws so severely lacerated his face, neck, and hands as to cause him to leap from the boat and swim for the shore, leav- ing the craft in the posossion of hie 0210 -time victims. ----sem.-- BURNED THE DUJKE'S EF- 1'ECTS. THE PROPERTY OE THII: LATE DUKE OF BEDFORD GOES UP IN FLAMES. LONDON, Feb, 15.—'the groat pyre which burned at Wobourn Abbey for the purpose of consum- ing tho personal effects of the late Duke of _Bedford was a strange function. A week ago two loads of fagots were arranged after the fash- ion of the inquisition in the middle ages 1n a lonely spot near the abbey. \Vhen the pyre was complete, sever al boxes and packages closely wrap- ped up in gravecloths wore brought out and cast on the pile of fagots. The bystanders were wildly excited and leaped about like the Mecl3oth witches round the magic cauldron. The boxes would not burn. 'Myster- ious rumours were breathed from mouth to mouth, and the more sup- erstitious hinted that the manner or the Duke's death had something to do with it. Tho boxes would not burn anymore the than a witch's cat would drown. However, at last with fear and trembling, the boxes were broken open, and all the wardrobe, from boot to bonnet, of the deceased magnate littered the ground. There were coats, waist- coats and breeches, enough to stock a "misfit parlour," boots and shoes enough to set up a second hand shoo store, and many canes tend umbrel- las.
